Students from Bukidnon State University’s College of Technologies presented their research projects at the 3rd Annual Student Research event on May 8, 2024, with the theme “Catalyzing Change: Harnessing Innovation for Societal Impact through Technological Transformation.”
Parallel sessions were held according to participating college programs: BS Food Technology, BS Information Technology, BS Automotive Technology, BS Electronics Technology, and BS Entertainment and Multimedia Computing.
These focused sessions allowed students to present their research projects to a specific group of audience, experts, and faculty members in their fields of study. Parallel sessions enabled in-depth discussions and valuable feedback, creating an engaging environment for young researchers.
The conference culminated in an awarding ceremony recognizing the outstanding research efforts of COT students across different categories: Best Poster, Best Paper, and Best Presenter.
